At Summer Budget 2015, the Government announced the introduction of a new \u2018residence nil rate band\u2019 for inheritance tax when a home is passed on death to a direct descendent. It will start at £100,000 in 2017-18, increasing in £25,000 increments to £175,000 in 2020-21. This, in addition to the existing nil rate band of £325,000, will increase the inheritance tax free threshold to £500,000 for many individuals, and up to £1 million for many married couples and civil partners by 2020-21.<\/p>
